Deductions & credits

If your businesses are substantially connected then they can be joined together in order to calculate your QBI deduction.  In some cases this can result in a higher QBI deduction and it also reduces the amount of paperwork involved.  

 

Here is a good article on QBI aggregation.  Just note that if you do choose to join the two businesses together for QBI purposes then you have to keep them that way.
